The government has decided to import furnace oil to maintain the level of generation of electricity and supply of CNG in coming winter season. According to Pakistan Sate Oil officials, preparations have been started for the import of 0.65 million tonnes of High Sulphur furnace oil. PSO has asked for tenders to import furnace oil. Experts say a gas shortage of 1.5 billion cubic feet is expected this winter season and the situation can consequently affect CNG supply and the production of electricity.
